The phrase comes from the lolcat era that exploded in 2007 around the I Can Has Cheezburger site and its image macros of cats with broken-English captions. The most famous image showed a smiling cat asking for a cheezburger, and the misspelling became shorthand for cute cat humour online. The clip keeps that joke alive in audio form alongside other cat favourites like the sad meow song and cat laugh meme sounds. It remains popular because the caption style is instantly nostalgic and easy to reuse.
